Rural Awareness Work Experience (RAWE) was introduced in to the curriculum of B.Sc. Home Science (Hons.) by Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi, in the year 2002. It aims at bringing improvement in quality of life of rural families. It had also been realized that formal system of education is restricted to classroom and laboratory situation. In real life situation learning through experience has become an integral part of the education. This informal education enables the students and teachers to actively participate in examining the subject matter and it’s utility to solve problems of the rural women. The present study was planned to assess the extent of adoption of home science practices disseminated under Rural Awareness Work Experience (RAWE) programme of College of Home Science, Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana. Four villages i.e. Rauwal, Sidhwan Kalan, Talwandi Khurd and Sarabha of Ludhiana district were selected for the purpose of the study. A total of 120 rural women constituted the sample of the study. The findings of the study inferred that the extent of adoption of majority of respondents for Apparel and Textile Science (77.50%) and Family Resource Management (74.16%) was low. Consequently, it may be concluded that there is a large scope for betterment of adoption rate of home science practices by rural women.Keywords

The present investigation was conducted to assess trainee’s profile for better adoption of home science practices. The study was conducted in purposively selected Rauwal, Sidhwan Kalan, Talwandi Khurd and Sarabha villages of Ludhiana district, where RAWE (Rural Awareness Work Experience) programme was conducted during the year 2013-14 to 2016-17. From each village, thirty rural women who were exposed to home science practices during RAWE were randomly selected. Thus, a total of 120 respondents constituted the sample of the study. Data were collected through a well structured and pre tested interview schedule. The results of the study showed positive and significant relation between the educational qualification, land holding, annual income of family and mass media usage. However, age was negatively and significantly associated with adoption status of practices. Practices should be need based and cost effective and students should be trained properly before RAWE were the major suggestions given by the respondents for improvement in RAWE programme.Keywords
